OIL-BURNER.

Application filed October 22, 1919.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ANTONIO T. TiMosor, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of San Jose, in the county of Santa Clara and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in oil burners, and has for its object to provide a small and efficient. burner of the character specified, wherein the oil is sprayed on to a heated plate by means of fluid under pressure acting in the manner of an injector.

In the drawings: I

Figure l is a vertical section through the improved burner Fig. 2 is a plan View.

In the present embodiment of the invention a casing l is provided, having arranged transversely thereof and in inclined position a partition 2, which is the plate upon which the oil is fed, and means is provided for heating this plate. This plate divides the easing into a lower heating compartment 3 and an upper vaporizing compartment 4, and it will be noticed that the casing is open at the high point of the partition 2, so that the oil sprayed upon the plate 2 may pass out in vapor through this opening 5 in the casing.

Oil is fed through a supply pipe 6 to the upper face of the partition 2 at the low side thereof, as will be evident from an inspection of Fig. 1, and fluid under pressure, as, for instance, steam is fed through a supply pipe 7 to the compartment 4: at the closed side thereof and adjacent to the inlet of the fuel supply pipe 6.

The inlet end of the pipe 7 is just above and at one side of the inlet end of the pipe 6 so that the steam escaping from the pipe 7 will feed the oil in the manner of an injector, driving it on to the plate at in a fine spray, and this plate is heated to any desired degree by means of a branch pipe 8 Specification of Letters Patent.

from the pipe 7, which opens into the compartment 3. Valves 9 and 10 are provided in the pipes 7 and 8 for controlling the supply of steam and the compartment 3 has an exhaust Valve 11 which may lead to a condenser or to the atmosphere.

Referring to Fig. 2, it will be seen that that end of the casing adjacent to the feed pipes is rounded and that about half of the top of the casing, namely, that half adjacent to the opening 5 is oflset downwardly, being closer to the bottom of the casing than the remaining portion. Thus a restricted passage, so far as heat is concerned, is provided, leading to the outlet 5, and the oil is fed in a fan shaped spray. The sprayed oil may be ignited at any suitable point. The partition 2 has its upper face perfectly smooth so that the oil will not stick to it, and the top of the pipe 6 is level withtthis partition.

The device is thus especially adapted for burning heavy oil, although it is obvious that any character of oil may be used.

I claim:

A device of the character described comprising a horizontally disposed casing, an inclined partition within said casing dividing the interior thereof into a lower heating chamber and an upper vaporizing chamber, the side of the casing within the vaporizing chamber at the higher'end of the partition being open to providea discharge, a fuel supply pipe extending vertically into said casing at the opposite side thereof through the partition and discharging into the vaporizing chamber, a steam supply pipe extending horizontally into the vaporizing chamber at the second named side thereofand discharging across the upper end of said fuel pipe and directly toward the open side, and a branch pipe leading from said steam pipe horizontally into said heating chamber to heat said partition plate.
